Look I hate to tell you but this whole idea that a huge segment of the population could just stop working and live off 'investment income' is just INSANE at the outset. That idea was never going to work. How could it? Who provides the income for these people to do NOTHING? It's gotta come from somewhere. Encouraging people even to think that way and plan that way is just nuts. If zero interest stops this insanity then it will have at least served some purpose. Pension plans, superannuation, government pension schemes are all insane and its time everyone worked that one out.

savers are scared. Lower interest rates have wrecked their retirement plans. Say you were doing some financial planning 10 years ago and plugged in 3% from your savings account. Now its 0%. You still have to plan for your retirement. Plug in 0%. What happens to your planning now? 0% compounded for X years is 0%. The math is simple. So in order to have your target savings at retirement, you need to save more, not spend more. But for some reason, the economists that run central banks around the world can�t see this. They are all stuck in their offices talking to one another and self-reinforcing this myth that they can drive spending up by reducing the rate of return on investments. Want to see consumer spending go up? Don�t wreck their savings plans so that they are too scared to spend. But that�s too simple. Instead, central banks use a chain of causation that doesn�t exist to try to create change 3 or 4 steps down the line.

NIRP
The policy of negative interest rates is thus consistent with the agenda to drive small banks out of business and consolidate banking sectors in industrialised countries, increasing concentration and control in the banking sector.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
NO MORE CASH
Central bankers, after all, have had an explicit interest in introducing e-money from the moment the global financial crisis began�
The introduction of a cashless society empowers central banks greatly. A cashless society, after all, not only makes things like negative interest rates possible, it transfers absolute control of the money supply to the central bank, mostly by turning it into a universal banker that competes directly with private banks for public deposits. All digital deposits become base money

Don't know if you caught the exchange when Yellen was being questioned about why the FED is paying 0.50% interest on Excess reserves that banks have held with the FED. (come to think of it that's 5 times the interest that my bank pays me on my checking/savings acct).
the questioner wanted to know why the Fed was paying the banks double the "declared" FedFunds Rate,---he rolled off a large number as How much that was Per Year, and wasn't that encouraging the big banks to NOT lend this money to those who want it.
Not to worry sez Trader Yellen...we make more on the instruments that we hold ---Treas, MBS---than we pay out, we actually make money TraderYellen Sez...we returned $100bln to the Treasury last year....(with pride in her voice)

The new narrative: we have this wonderful economic recovery but outside events (China, Oil, blah, blah) mean that we may see adverse economic reactions in the States and solely for this reason rate hikes are on hold and we could maybe even EASE.
Translation: no recovery (as expected) and the USD is at risk.

I think the take away from Yellen today is that she has presented the case for delaying the March rate hike, but is sticking to their intention to raise rates whenever they can justify such a policy move. I know that sounds like double talk, but clearly she does not want to be painted into a corner.
I think she is saying no rate hike in March, and the FOMC will decide later about June depending on future data. I guess this is supportive of stox.

WASHINGTON--Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen flagged risks to the economic outlook that could delay the central bank's plans for raising short-term interest rates, in prepared remarks for her semiannual testimony to Congress on U.S. monetary policy.
Financial conditions have become less supportive of economic growth, stresses in China and other foreign economies could weigh further on the U.S., and market expectations for inflation are sinking, Ms. Yellen said, kicking off two days of testimony before House and Senate committees.
Without explicitly pointing to the prospect of delayed rate increases, her recitation of these risks gave her comments a downbeat undertone. That in turn underscored the Fed's cautiousness about following through with additional short-term interest-rate increases after pushing them up in December. Before that move, the Fed had kept rates near zero for seven years.
"Financial conditions in the United States have recently become less supportive of growth, with declines in broad measures of equity prices, higher borrowing rates for riskier borrowers, and a further appreciation of the dollar," Ms. Yellen said. "These developments, if they persist, could weigh on the outlook for economic activity and the labor market, although declines in longer-term interest rates and oil prices provide some offset."
When the Fed pushed short-term interest rates higher in December, officials penciled in four quarter-percentage- point rate increases for 2016. Investors have been skeptical of those projections, increasingly so in recent weeks.
The Fed's next policy meeting is March 15-16 . Traders in futures markets see virtually no chance of a move then and just a 19% chance the Fed will move at all again this year, according to the Chicago Mercantile Exchange . The Fed's target for its benchmark federal-funds rate is between 0.25% and 0.5%.

Yellen prepared text is released at 13:30 GMT
Yellen gets the chance today to move out on her own - confidence "the time of crisis has passed" -- questions about a US NIRP should be firmly refuted as inappropriate in our economy but may be OK for others
The advantage of Congressional testimony is the 'strawman' arguments that are posed by the interlocutors -- the data dependent mantra is too vague better to leave no doubt on policy

Nothing to watch until the Q&A. The prepared text will come over the wires at 13:30 GMT.
I watch the Q&A because it gives me a better feel for what the Fed is thinking. It also is unscripted.

from notes - NIRP may be the turnaround, cold water in the face of theorists running CBs -- Japan has now made it impossible to make any money in country - the Nikkei is collapsing, savers after years of punishment are facing he need to save even more, banks won't lend so money can't move, real estate is a losing investment and the yen is rallying encouraging more job outflow by corps

The better tone for equities heading into the Yellen testimony later weighing on the EUR crosses at this hour. Markets seem to have high expectations for her testimony today. I understand the Yellen prepared text is released at 13:30 GMT. She reads it to Congress starting at 15:00 GMT and live questions start subsequently.

Waiting for Yellen testimony. Expect her to cheerlead the economy, but to stick to the party line that policy remains data-dependent. The markets could be looking for more from her than what can be reasonably expected. I see a room for market disappointment today.

re yellen and her commentsa thing to remember is that the fed is down on 3 -4 hikes this year, while market has gone none priced in fully by end 2016. yellen getting a little move dovish from her position is still unlikely to narrow the gap to market that much. secondly, in terms of dollar, fed likely to welcome weakness and yellen will try to sup markets but at same try may word that sup in a way to exclude the dollar. that might be her aim although she may not achieve it. might be impossible to do without saying it bluntly.

DJ Persistent Negative Yields in Japan Will Shrink Economy: Fukoku Mutual -- Market Talk
0556 GMT [Dow Jones] If negative yields continue in Japan that will make it difficult for banks to lend, leading to a shrinking of the economy, says Ichiro Yamada, general manager of equities department at Fukoku Mutual Life Insurance. The benchmark 10-year Japanese government bond yield is at 0.010% Wednesday, up slightly after dipping into negative territory Tuesday for the first time. "If negative yields persist, there will be no lenders no matter how much demand for money there is. The economy would have to contract as a result," he says. "Banking would be paralyzed." Japanese bank shares are leading the market's declines amid concerns about worsening profitability. Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (8306.TO) is down 6.5% at 459.5 yen. Mizuho Financial Group (8411.TO) is down 5.6% at Y160.8.([email protected])
